For vehicles with supporting modifications already in place. Stage 2 delivers significantly larger gains in power and torque.
Those modifications give the engine the ability to flow more air, manage more boost, and handle more aggressive fuelling. Without the hardware, Stage 2 numbers are either unachievable or unsafe. With the hardware in place, Stage 2 is where significant performance gains become possible.
If you're driving a modified vehicle and you're still on a Stage 1 remap — or on the factory map — you are almost certainly leaving a significant amount of your vehicle's potential on the table.

A Stage 2 remap unlocks significantly greater performance than Stage 1 — but to do so safely, the engine needs hardware upgrades that allow it to handle the increased power and heat.
Keeps intake air temperature lower under increased boost
Improved airflow into engine
Reduces back pressure
Supports increased fuel demand
Standard clutch may slip under increased torque
Prevents boost leaks
Not all of the above are required for every vehicle — Stage 2 requirements vary significantly by make, model and target power output. Book a consultation and we'll map out exactly what your vehicle needs.

Kia Sportage 1.7 · Stage 1 Remap
“I recently took my 2013 Kia Sportage 1.7 to Concept-R for a Stage 1 remap. The outcome has been excellent. There is a clear and immediate improvement in power delivery and overall responsiveness — and over 100 extra miles per tank.”
